Activism - Get Involved!!

Happy 2015, two new members of the County Council have been sworn in.  Change may be ushered in with the frigid air.

Nearly 20 percent of Wasatch voters signed the recently submitted referendum petition to place the North Fields rezoning issue up to a vote.

A lawsuit opposing the rezone suggesting procedural irregularities, received a 'stay' on any action from the District Court judge.   A further hearing will be held soon.

Hopefully, this rezoning debacle will be corrected soon by the newly formed Council by simply repealing the whole idea.

However, in the meantime, it should be noted that the Planning Commission has a meeting scheduled for 15 Jan.  and there has been little or no notification of Commission vacancies on the county website.  All commission seats are four years, meaning two or three terms expired last week.

There is currently no notice given on the county website or any (?) action taken to fill the seats on what is, arguably, the most important appointed board in the County.

I would strongly urge MANY of you good citizens to submit your applications to Mike Davis, ASAP.  2015 is YOUR time to serve to "protect the health, welfare and safety of the community." through appropriate zoning. 

Shortly after the letter was sent a list of Board position WAS posted - SO SEND YOUR APPLICATION IN!!!
